If you watched the Super Bowl Sunday and saw the commercial showing a fight over cookies taking place in a library, you probably didn’t recognize the place if you have visited a public library lately. The library in the commercial consists mostly of books, chairs, tables and bookcase with hardly any computers in sight. Today’s libraries, by contrast, have many computers, e-readers and other technology that have transformed them into what they are often called in schools – media centers. On the current edition of Insight, Bhakti Larry Hough interviews Marilynn Lance Robb, manager of the Carvers Bay Branch of the Georgetown County Library, about their offerings and how the Digital Revolution has affected public libraries.

Insight airs Wednesdays and Mondays at 10:00 AM, 7:00 PM, and midnight, at 90.9 FM, Radio Baha'i.
